I Am Legend

Is this movie not looking to be one of the most kick-ass ever?

Will Smith last man on Earth, by day he's the last survivor in New York, by night he has to survive.

Do the math people!

Another zombie movie I guess...

A man can only be legend when there are other men to remember him.

Apparently, its good.

Just saw an advance screening at the TV Academy tonight and all I'm gonna say is that my heart was racing the entire film and I feel sorry for the poor people sitting next to me cause I was screaming and gasping throughout. The scenes of the deserted NYC have to be seen to be believed. Will Smith is back in action mode and pulls it off effortlessly. This movie was a great ride with tons of scares, terrific special effects, great pacing. Cameo by Emma Thompson is truly amusing. Recently saw the old Vincent Price version on TV and this version simply blows it out of the water. Kudos to all involved. A terrific thriller.

It's about vampires, man.

No zombies.

That is for the book. For the movie, it sounds like a zombie movie (28 Days Later).

No it's not. The movie is about a virus outbreak and those who didn't die are de facto mutants. Whether you call 'em zombies or not, they're definitely not vampires.

You mean it's a remake of The Omega Man. Remakes. Pfeh. Are script-writers incapable of devising NEW story ideas? How can Will Smith possibly outmatch Charlton Heston for gunplay?

If it's anything like the book, it will be the best film of the year. Easily.

Read the book heathens. You'll be critical of every sci-fi horror novel you'll ever read again And they are Vampires in the book. No doubt about that - I guess they've just changed that aspect of it for the "modern" audience. Little annoying for fans of the book, but I guess the "modern viewers" prefer their Vampires to be more sinister than raving monsters screaming at Neville to come out of his house while flashing their genitalia...

On that note... I made a thread on the book/film a month or so ago Can't find it now for the life of me...

Psh, 28 Days Later was always an I Am Legend ripoff. I'm sure the makers even admitted it

I guess people needed the flashy lights of Hollywood to get their interest

Someone is mad.


This movie does look good, I will probably see it. I don't care if its a remake so long as its a good movie. Now BAD remakes is what I can't take, and usually if you are someone who goes to see movies regularly a bad movie is easy to spot. I'd think this is NOT one of them.

When's it out?

December 14th. Soon!

Will Smith + Hollywood + Book adaptation + former music video director= rubbish

I hate Will smith he's such an unconvincing buffoon. I bet at least ten times in the movie he says 'Yeah dat's right' before hitting something. Sigh.

This movie looks awesome. But then again, So did I robot.

He was the main character in Fresh Prince. He's 1337. And book adaptations aren't always bad. I do pretty much agree with the other two, though.

The movie looks alright... It looks like it's worth seeing, at least.

You're just jealous of his cool. I mean. The guy is the cool. The guy is cool when he's doing twosies. He is that cool.

Now... what a load of crap. I read the book because I'm a fan of decent literature. Particularly within the Post-Apocalyptic genre. Not to get 1 ups over people on a forum. I'm only encouraging people to do the same because I think people are missing out if they don't.

Now guess what. I've already read, and thoroughly enjoyed the book. The best part is, it's an incredibly well written, and a brilliant read. And I also get to watch a kicka$s movie.

>_>

Double post. Merge me! As ordered ~sapi
